Adam: Well, thank you for the coffee. What did I do to deserve this?

Chelsea: You set me straight about my short-lived podcast career and you even managed to cheer me up a little bit.

Adam: Oh wow. I think I’m the one who should be thanking you, though. You were the one who made me reconsider how to handle my father and made me realize that I should give more thought to Jack’s offer.

Chelsea: Well, I was glad to steer you in the right direction.

Sally: Hi, guys. How are you? It’s like a Newman fashion reunion. Remember those days? Good times.

Chelsea: Good times? I think we have a different recollection of that experience.

Sally: Of course, you moved on to bigger and better things with those excellent podcasts. Riveting. You and Billy have great chemistry. It sounds like you’re having a lot of fun.

Chelsea: Thanks. I think.

Tessa: Dominic loves the bubbles.

Mariah: Who knew? A little bit of water and some dish soap. We could have saved hundreds on presents.

Devon: Yeah.

Chance: I think the invitation said no presents.

Mariah: No one ever believes that, especially with Daddy Warbucks on the guest list.

Devon: I don’t know what you’re talking about. I restrained myself.

Mariah: This is restraint?

Devon: Yes, this is, actually.

Nick: Come on. Yeah, you could have. When there’s something you want, I dare anyone to get in your way.

Phyllis: You say that like it’s a good thing.

Nick: I mean, it can be. If the Grand Phoenix was in the hands of anyone else, it would have just been some other hotel, you know, come and go, but you created this luxury destination where everybody keeps coming back. It’s unforgettable, like you.

Phyllis: You’re just saying that because it’s true.

Abby: Uh, yeah, I was with him earlier, but then he got called in to work, so that’s probably why he didn’t answer his phone.

Nick: That makes sense.

Abby: We had a mini first birthday celebration for Dominic at the park.

Nick: Has it been a year already?

Abby: I know. Can you believe it?

[Chuckles]

Nick: Oh, man. You know, what I can’t believe is that you didn’t invite his favorite uncle to the party. I missed all the cake, the balloons, everything.

Abby: Well, don’t worry. We’re gonna have a bigger celebration with the extended family when things calm down a bit.

Jack: I just e-mailed legal to start drafting a contract, so that’s in the works.

Traci: What has gotten into you?

Jack: What do you mean?

Traci: [Chuckles] You’re so happy.

Jack: Well, I’d like to think it’s not that rare or shocking that I have a smile on my face.

Traci: It’s not, but you’re smiling a lot more lately.

Jack: I didn’t know you were counting smiles.

Traci: And you are humming when you’re going through the mail.

Jack: I didn’t do that.

Traci: You did. And if I’m not mistaken, I overheard you singing with Harrison.

Jack: That I will cop to. That kid can turn anyone’s mood around.

Traci: [Chuckles] So is it your grandson that’s got you so chipper or is it something or someone else?

********************************************

Traci: You know, if you were a character in one of my novels, my editor would be insisting that I explain your mood.

Jack: I am not a character in one of your novels. I am your brother. And my moods don’t have to be explained or scrutinized or novelized for that point.

Traci: Come on, you would make a great character — leading man, romantic hero.

Jack: Don’t even think about it.

Traci: And you’re avoiding my original question.

Jack: Oh, I know what you’re fishing for, and I’m not biting.

Victor: I tend to agree, but what do you think about all the eagerness with which she is suddenly making all these acquisitions?

Nick: I think she’s a little overzealous in her desire to remove any stain Ashland left on her or Newman. But I totally get it. I mean, he absolutely humiliated her — and not just once. Now, she was able to get some payback by getting you back your money from Ashland. But she did love him, dad.

Victor: Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. Her taste in men, I tell you, has always been her Achilles’ heel.

Nick: Vick’s got a lot to prove to herself right now. When she came back from New York and she said she wanted things to be different, I know she meant it.

**********************************************

Adam: It was an accident. Ashland was threatening Victoria, and to protect her, Nick punched him.

Sally: Yeah, I knew that he hit him, but I thought that’s as far as it went.

Adam: Well, apparently he inherited dear old dad’s boxing skills because one punch is all it took. He hit Ashland, he hit his head on the fireplace in just the right spot, and the miserable bastard died.

Sally: Oh, my god.

Adam: Yeah. Well, good riddance, as far as I’m concerned.

Sally: But this — this sounds like a clear-cut case of self-defense. So, why would Victor cover it up?

Adam: Because the chess master cannot resist playing the game. As far as I know, my siblings had nothing to do with this. It was all dear old dad, and the story should reflect that.

Sally: This is insane.

Lucas: Hey, wait a minute. Are you calling me a thief?

Adam: [Clears throat] Yeah, Kevin. Who are you to come in here, hurling accusations at my guest?

Kevin: Oh, save it. I know what you’re up to. Do you think I have short-term memory loss, that I would suddenly forget that you were just on the hunt for dirt to use against Victor? I shoot you down. Next thing I know, someone breaks into my car and swipes my computer!

Adam: Uh, that sounds like a very unfortunate coincidence to me. Sure I don’t have to tell somebody that works for the GCPD that people have valuables stolen all the time out of their car.

********************

Sally: I get what you’re saying about you and Adam having a history. But that’s the key word, isn’t it — “history”? Because after all you’ve been through, there really is no going back, is there?

Chelsea: Well, you should take those words to heart, because you’re also history where Adam’s concerned.

Sally: What’s your point?

Chelsea: Well, you know, even though you two weren’t involved very deeply or for very long, it’s always really painful when an affair ends. I just really admire the way you guys have handled the breakup. You got right back on your feet quickly. I think it’s very healthy and very mature, the way you both moved on.

Kevin: It’s not that difficult to comprehend.

Adam: [Sighs] You seem awfully calm. I mean, if someone had told me i was gonna be blamed for a negligent investigation and a sloppy cover-up, I would be really upset.

Kevin: I’m not flipping out because you’ve got it all wrong. That’s not what’s happening.

Adam: Okay. Whatever you say. You must know more than me. I just — I was just trying to help give you some clarity, Kevin.

Kevin: I don’t need clarity.

Adam: Oh, no, of course not. Your ability to properly judge a situation is legendary. That’s your superpower, right? That and distinguishing between right and wrong.

Kevin: The idea of you dispensing moral guidance is ludicrous.

Adam: Who’s gonna look out for you, Kevin? Michael isn’t D.A. anymore. It’s not like the old days when he can get you out of jams.

Victor: I think about them all the time, Chance.

Chance: All I’m saying, Victor, is that I will not cover for you ever again.

Adam: Unlike his dad. Serial failure.

Victor: I didn’t say anything like that.

Adam: No, but it was implied.

[Clears throat] You rarely say what you actually mean.

[Glass thuds] Well, the latest threat to the Newmans was Ashland Locke.

Victor: Well, that S.O.B. Is thankfully no longer with us.

Adam: Mm, that eliminated some of the danger, but his death had its own turmoil. So, what changed?

Victor: All conversations about Ashland Locke are past tense, okay? Guy’s dead as a doornail. And any investigations into the circumstances of his death are now closed.

Adam: What?

Victor: Yeah. They’re closed. Chance was here earlier. He said he was no longer going to investigate the circumstances of Ashland Locke’s death, so Victoria can now pick up the pieces of her life. So can we all.

Jack: All splayed out like he’s in the middle of a jumping jack? I don’t know, maybe to keep cool in the August heat?

[Sighing] Ah. Thank you for letting me peek in on him.

Billy: Is that so?

Chelsea: Mm-hmm. It would be great fodder for an episode.

Billy: Okay. Look, uh, I’m not upset that you’re asking me about Victoria. I’m really not. I was just a little bit surprised. But I think you’re right. The more open and honest we are, the more authentic the podcast is.

Billy: You’re making it sound like I don’t like my job, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Okay? And these podcasts are initiatives with this company that we are building. It was my idea to start that platform in the first place, and these podcasts are actually a major generator of our success.

Lily: Yeah, I know. You never let me forget how popular they are.

Billy: Come on, that’s not fair.

Lily: Or always begging me to listen to the latest episode.

Billy: Is that too much to ask of you?

Lily: Actually, yeah, Billy, it is a lot to ask right now. It is. I’m trying to deal with merging two companies together. I also am having tension with my family. Devon and Nate aren’t getting along. I have a lot going on right now, and I could really use some support from my COO. So is that too much to ask from you

**********************************

Billy: [Whistles] What are you doing here?

Victoria: Well, I was hoping to gather my thoughts over a quiet drink, but it seems like everywhere I turn today, I keep running into reminders of my messy life.

Billy: Oh, wow. And here I thought I worked my way back into your good books.

Victoria: Well, that was before I got sandbagged by Chelsea wanting to tell Johnny the truth about his biological mother, and apparently she’s already discussed this with you. So, thank you so much, Billy, for the heads-up.

Billy: I’m sorry. She did talk to me about it. And of course, I was gonna talk to you about it, but… Vick, I know you got a lot going on. I didn’t think it was the right time.

Victoria: It was perfect timing for Chelsea.

Billy: Well, Chelsea jumped the gun. This is a massive decision.

Victoria: Look, it’s not that I disagree telling Johnny the truth, but he’s trying to understand what happened with Ashland. I mean, we all are.

Billy: Of course, we’re gonna have to tell Johnny. When that is, I don’t — I don’t know, but I do know that the older he gets, the harder it’s gonna be to justify not telling him.

Victoria: It’s just, why is it suddenly so urgent? It raises a red flag.

Billy: I get that. And believe me, I’m not pushing for this.

Victoria: [Sighs heavily] Look, I have no interest in trying to wrap my head around this tonight. I was just trying to figure out a way to [Sighs] Just relax so that maybe I would get a little sleep tonight.

Kyle: Mm.

Summer: Oh, okay.

Kyle: Almost there. Here. Okay.

Summer: [Exhales sharply] This is so sweet. Are those drinks what I think they are?

Kyle: Negronis. And there’s bruschetta on the way.

Summer: Mm. [Chuckles] This is bringing back so many memories of our favorite rooftop bar in Milan. And that breathtaking view of the duomo.

Kyle: May not be able to see the duomo from here, but the view is just as breathtaking.

Summer: You’re a real charmer, you know that?

Kyle: Eh, you make it pretty easy.

Summer: I have to admit, as happy as I am to be back in Genoa City, there are still moments when I miss Italy.

Kyle: I do too. That’s why I thought we could enjoy a little taste of it this evening.

Summer: Do you remember that first night we discovered that other rooftop deck with the best negronis in the city? We held hands across the table like we didn’t want to let go.

Kyle: Mm.

Summer: And we danced until we could not dance anymore.

Kyle: When we finally got home, we stayed up all night wrapped in each other’s arms, watched the sunrise. Should make sure to make more of those memories, no matter where we are.

“”*********************************

Kyle: I should really learn how to make negronis at home.

Summer: Mm, so we can have a taste of Italy without ever leaving the house?

Kyle: I don’t care where we are, as long as I get to look at this.

Summer: You know, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like these at first. Gin, vermouth, Campari, and an orange peel.

Kyle: It is an unusual combination, but sometimes those are the best kinds. Things that don’t seem to go together, but somehow do.

Summer: An unexpected yet magical elixir.

Kyle: Exactly.

[Chuckles] Maybe we should head home to have that swim. If no one else is around, we can forget our swimsuits. What do you say? What’s the matter?

Billy: No, I do get it. I’m not sure it’s funny.

Summer: We’ve reached sort of a peaceful coexistence, but that’s only because of your friendship.

Adam: Oh, I — I come in all the time. I just mean, it’s been a while since you and i have had a chance to talk.

Abby: Well, I guess I’m shocked that you’re even supporting my restaurant, since you are cutting ties with anything Newman these days.

Adam: [Chuckles] Well, I can’t quit Society. First of all, the food is delicious, and I think I would be punishing myself if I didn’t come here. Where else would I get the little crab-puff appetizers?

Abby: Nowhere in this town.

Adam: And secondly, my issues with our father and how he does business don’t have anything to do with you and me. There’s no reason we can’t have a conversation. Unless you disagree.

Abby: No, that seems fair. Your conflict with our father has nothing to do with me. And we have been civil. So, uh, sure. You know, why don’t I send you some crab puffs, on the house?

Kevin: Far be it from me to tell you how to do it, but sometimes a car crash is just a car crash, even when it involves the most hated man in Genoa City.

Chance: There’s more to the story. Trust me. And it’s all in the police report. And since I want you to take on a bigger role in this case…

Kevin: I need to be up to speed. Got it.

********************************

Chance: And if something feels off, don’t be satisfied with the simple answer. When I learned that Rey had a heart attack, the whole scenario just made sense. It made sense why he didn’t have the natural reaction to avoid a collision, why he didn’t hit the brakes, why he didn’t try to steer away from oncoming traffic. And that is why I need to know exactly what happened to Ashland Locke yesterday. I want to know what he did every minute leading up to his death. And you’re gonna help me do it.

Kevin: Me? What can I do? I’m not a cop. I can’t interrogate people. And while I’m sure his car has plenty of microchips inside, you really need a mechanic to analyze that data.

Chance: Go see the medical examiner. She takes her coffee with two sugars.

Kevin: But I have nothing to do with it in her office. She doesn’t even technically work for the GCPD.

Chance: Go see her and tell her how much you like that fantasy role-playing game.

Kevin: Oh, she plays that, too?

Chance: That’s what I hear. And that’s why you’re the perfect man for the job.

Kevin: Unless you’re suggesting that Ashland’s death had something to do with the search for a mythical orb, I fail to see the connection.

Chance: You can take this shared interest, and you can butter her up, man. Get friendly. Yeah? I mean, ask her to join your, uh — whatever it is you call a group of people who play that game.

Kevin: A guild.

Chance: Yes. Yes. Guild. And then once you two are guild buddies — yeah? — You make sure she knows that that autopsy is our top priority.

Kevin: [Sighs] Alright. I guess that’s simple enough.

Chance: And you make sure you know that police report by heart, man. I’m gonna need you up to speed if we’re gonna figure this out.

Kevin: “We.” Sure. I mean, yes. And I will report right back to you because that is what a good sidekick does. We’re kind of a team now, right? You’re boots on the ground. I’m your guy behind the desk, eyes on everything, plugged in to the mainframe. Yes! Maybe not. But I will see what I can do about speeding up that autopsy, and, uh, I’ll be in touch.

Victoria: You know they say you’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead, right?

Billy: Because I actually like my colleagues. I trust them and admire them.

Phyllis: Okay, well, it’s unfortunate for you that all you’re working with are, you know, your buddies and your girlfriend. I’m going to handle Diane very professionally.

Billy: And I’m going to enjoy the popcorn watching you do that.

Adam: What’s the rush, Kevin? Got some hardcore hacking to do?

Kevin: Wouldn’t you like to know. I work for the good. So, if you’re looking for someone to blackmail into being your minion, look elsewhere. This guy’s on the right side of the law.

Adam: Yeah, well, at least for now. Old habits, you know, and all that.

Kevin: It’s funny. Now that I’m out of your orbit, everything is right in my world. Great job, great relationship, great family.

Adam: That sounds nice. I’m very happy for you.

Kevin: From what I hear, you’re striking out on all three of those fronts these days.

Adam: Gloating is not a good look on you, Kevin.

Kevin: I think I’ve earned it. You put me through hell.

Adam: Come on. You were hardly an innocent victim.

Kevin: The difference between the two of us is that I have done my best to change. You just wallow in your bad habits.

Adam: What would you know about it?

Kevin: Uh, hello? Chloe? The love of my life?

Adam: No accounting for taste, but I guess there really is a lid for every pot, huh?

Kevin: [Chuckles] Yeah. My point is that Chloe works for Sally now. Not that she’s a gossip, but she has shared some things your ex has said about you. Whew!

Adam: Like what?

Kevin: Well, I wish I could stay and chat longer, but I’m assuming you heard Ashland Locke turned up dead, so I’m a little busy.

**********************************

Jack: Going out?

Ashley: As a matter of fact, I am. Why? Are you keeping tabs on me like you used to when we were kids?

Jack: We’ve got kids who have kids. No, I don’t think so. I’m actually quietly reading over the lab report you asked me to look at.

Ashley: Well, you know what? I should be back at a pretty decent hour, so we can go over it when I get home.

Jack: Great.

Ashley: Or maybe I should just stay here and keep tabs on you. What are you doing here — again

Chloe: Blech.

Sally: What’s wrong?

Chloe: All of these people.

Sally: What people are you talking about? Hopefully no one whose name is on the building because they sign our checks.

Chloe: You know, as a rule, I am generally irritated by most of the Newmans, but in this moment, I am specifically irritated by all of these national media parasites who just want to get the scoop on Ashland Locke’s death. Vultures.

Sally: Chloe, you do realize that we’re a part of the national media, right? So, are you calling us vultures?

Chloe: No, no. I’m talking about all of the reporters who have come into town, who are trying to uncover some angle that no one else has found.

Sally: They’re not evil. They’re just trafficking in the most valuable commodity of the day — information. All of their platforms are covering Ashland’s death, and they need to find an angle.

Chloe: Well, I doubt they’re gonna find out that Nick punched Ashland at Victoria’s house the night that Locke died.

Sally: What did you just say? Their confrontation got physical?

*********************************

Chloe: It’s true. Nick clocked Ashland the night he died. Probably not long before the accident.

Sally: And this was at Victoria’s house?

Chloe: Exactly.

Sally: What was Ashland doing there?

Chloe: I don’t really know. I just know that it got really heated between Ashland and Victoria, so Nick had to step in.

Sally: Wow. And you found this out from your trusted source that rhymes with “fleven.”

Chloe: You know there are actual words that rhyme with his name. You don’t have to make up something.

Sally: Yeah, but it’s more fun to say fleven. So, what else did kevin tell you?

Chance: If you’re hoping that I’m gonna drop this investigation, that’s not gonna happen. It is my duty to find the facts in this case, and I take that very seriously.

Victor: I know you do. And I admire that. You have a highly developed sense of duty. Probably got that from the military. But as far as I’m concerned, all that effort would be better spent elsewhere.

Chance: I doubt Ashland would see it that way.

Victor: Who the hell gives a damn how Ashland would see it? He’s dead, Chance, dead as a doornail! He was a pathological liar. He was a fraud. And I have a feeling he began to realize that. That’s why he drove his damn car into a ravine.

Chance: Okay, so you’re still pushing the whole suicide —

Victor: That’s the only logical explanation.

Chance: Only if the facts would back it up, but that’s not the case. Victor, I cannot overlook the reality that you have covered up a fatal accident in the past involving one of your children.

Victor: Now, wait a minute, man. You’re talking about Adam. This is something that happened decades ago. Let me tell you something about your profession. The more information you have about a case, the more it often obscures the truth.

********************************”***

Chloe: I have to laugh that this is the same woman who was just doubting herself a minute ago.

Sally: Well, your pep talk helped. It was exactly what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it. The two of us are going to kick butt running this company.

Chloe: Damn right we are.

Sally: You know, in fashion, I always wanted to influence what people wore, but this is gonna be so much bigger. I mean, folks are gonna turn to Newman Media to figure out who to listen to, what to talk about, and what to care about. It’s awesome, how much power and influence we can wield.

Chloe: Yes, yes, yes. Now, that is the Sally Spectra I know.

Devon: Thanks, man. And get two of these.

Amanda: Wow. You must be really hungry. You’re ordering the entire menu.

Devon: Well, most of it is for you.

Amanda: For me?

Devon: Yes, because I noticed while you were helping your mother get situated in Virginia that you weren’t really taking care of yourself.

Amanda: I know. I know. I just — I — I needed to make sure that Naya had everything she needed, you know?

Devon: I know you did, and now that we’re back home, I can spoil you and get you all your favorite things and all your favorite foods. All the curly fries you can eat.

Amanda: [ Gasps ] Well, I have to admit that the surest and fastest way to my heart is curly fries.

Devon: Is it?

Amanda: Yes.

Devon: Oh, good.

[Both laugh] Well, I’ll joking aside, I hope that you know that you can tell me if there’s anything else you need me to do — ’cause I can tell that something is still weighing on you. You barely said two words on the flight back home.

****************************

Mariah: And the doctor said the procedure couldn’t have gone better. The only unfortunate thing is Tessa has to be on complete vocal rest for the next few days — so, no talking, no — no laughing or coughing or clearing your throat. And the hardest part, no singing or humming. I know. I’m sorry, my little songbird. But that’s kind of the best part in all of this, is I get to say sappy things to Tessa and she can’t groan. So, it’s kind of a win-win.

Sharon: Well, I plan on keeping you fully stocked with plenty of smoothies and decaffeinated teas while you recover. And maybe the best thing that Mariah can do for you is to stop cracking so many jokes. Tessa’s not supposed to be laughing, either.

Mariah: Uh…yeah. Wait, what are you trying to say?

Faith: Uh, that we don’t have to worry. Your jokes — not so funny.

Mariah: Wow. Okay, fine.

Faith: Oh! I have the best gift for this situation. You can use this instead of talking. What?

Thank you. I love it.

[Laughter]

Faith: I get it. Obviously, Tessa could have just used her phone, but with the whiteboard, she can be more expressive — pictures, emojis. It’s like carrying around her own thought bubble.

Mariah: That’s a very good point. You know, we can also play hangman or ticktacktoe, draw charades. Very good gift. Thank you.

Sharon: Okay, come on. It’s me you’re talking to. I’m not buying the past tense.

Adam: [Sighs]

Sharon: Okay. Why are you cutting out someone who cares about you and appears to see the best in you and might even bring the best out of you?

Adam: Sharon, it’s — it’s complicated.

Sharon: You know what? When you find someone who you really match up with, it shouldn’t be complicated and you shouldn’t take it for granted.

Adam: Look, as I already told you, um, this is what’s best for everybody, okay? I need a break. And the trip that you heard me booking was for Vegas.

Sharon: Really? Given your history there, why would you want to go back there? And don’t forget — I’m the one who brought you home from Vegas. I wouldn’t want to see you slide into old bad habits. So, how long are you staying?

Adam: I’m taking off now.

[Laughter] Okay, you have a family to attend to, and I have a trip to pack for. Good luck with the procedure today, Tessa.

Tessa: Thank you.

*****************

Diane: you’re having a big talk.

Kyle: Yes, we are.

Diane: I know mommy and daddy shared some sad news with you, how father got hurt and he won’t be back. That’s kind of hard to believe or understand, isn’t it? Yeah. Hey, you and I just saw father at the park, didn’t we? I heard him telling you how much he loves you and how he had to go away on a trip, but that he’d be back soon.

[ Sighs ] But sometimes things happen in life that we aren’t expecting and our plans change, like — oh, do you remember the day that we were going to the park and then, when we went outside, it started to rain, so we decided to stay home? Yeah. Well, that’s — that’s one way that plans can change when something that we can’t control happens to us. And then all of a sudden, things aren’t the way we thought they’d be. But that doesn’t mean that father didn’t love you more than anything else in this world. I know that if father could be here with you, he would be. But this is just one of those times that something bad happened and he can’t be. Show me where your heart is.

[Chuckles] What a smart and brave boy you are. That’s — that’s absolutely right.

Kyle: Father’s still in there, in your heart.
